Our Wish List

The Olive Branch Preschool is currently in its early stages of development, and is steadily collecting materials to prepare for its opening in the fall. Many of the best educational materials are easy to purchase at a store, but others are better sourced secondhand. The following is a list of items that we are continuously collecting and can never have enough of!

To the friends and family of the program,
If you feel generously inclined, please take a moment to browse our school wish list. Many of the items that you see (or possibly some similar items that are unlisted!) may be laying somewhere around your home hoping to someday be used. Please use our contact form or contact me directly if you have some materials that you’d like to donate to The Olive Branch.
Many, many thanks,
Lindsey
